Samurai Pizza Cats Fanart!

Image
This morning, I found out about the Samurai Pizza Cats' return. Kinda... sorta. They will be having a video game coming out next year and I might play when it comes out. They said it's going to be on Steam, but I hope for a Switch port. I'm very late though since this was announced two weeks ago (February 20th). I'm so excited since I really enjoyed the series last year.  

Being Prepared! (plus other ramblings)

 It's been a while since I've last posted on this blog. ---- Hello, cool cats (if you don't mind me calling you that)! Man, I am so excited for next Saturday because for the first time ever, I will be selling & signing copies of SaGia Volume 1... in-person! I've already posted on my socials and on the official SaGia website and blog about it, but I will be sharing the above poster here if anyone lives in Washington state and is interested. After the event, I might make a post of how it went. I'm nervous as heck... drawing a SaGia character and signing on the inside front cover in front of people... I already tested out my sharpies and they are still holding up well. And also, I've made 62 doodles on pieces of paper from 3/1-3/6 that has my Linktree and Ko-fi on the back that I will be giving away to people (I don't have a business card yet, so I'm going low-budget 😂). Making these doodles using ink was fun. I've done a couple of Dragon Ball and ...

20 Years of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi! (Watercolor Drawing)

Happy 20th Anniversary to this awesome Cartoon Network show that I barely remembered as a kid! I started on this watercolor drawing on 11/6 and finished on 11/7! I watched all of the series at the beginning of November from 11/3-11/6 and enjoyed all 3 seasons. Wish there was a fourth, but the series was cancelled in 2006.

I got interviewed for the first time!

Image
  I was interviewed about my comic, SaGia! Go check it out and thank you, Comix Well Spring! At 1:07, I said Draken. I meant Drakenoids! I easily get the 2 mixed up. If you want a better synopsis, it’s on the official SaGia website. ;) My brain was all over the place during this interview! I was nervous, but luckily, the interview was short!

These plushies rock! | Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi Rock Out Plushies Review

Image
I barely have any childhood memories of Puffy AmiYumi, but the only thing I remember was the CN logo after the end credits (it will show up in Japanese then switch to the regular CN logo). I was in high school, and I was watching old Cartoon Network promos. And PAY was in the collection of promos. I was like, “do I remember this show?”. So, I watched the first episode. And immediately loved it. I searched for any merch out there and discovered the Rock Out Ami plush.  I haven’t watched the rest of PAY, but I plan to start over and get a refresher on previous episodes I’ve seen since I haven’t watched it for years after high school. I’ll start watching it after I finish up Code Lyoko. If you don’t know this show, I’ll give you a brief summary: this cartoon series is based on a real Japanese duo called PUFFY. They sang the theme song to Teen Titans & TT GO. I guess the only thing I remember is that they go on crazy adventures with their band manager, Kaz on a tour bus. Despite on...

My thoughts on AI as a whole: I don’t like it.

October is almost here, I recently purchased an ISBN for Volume 1 of SaGia, and while I finish up Volume 2 of SaGia (now working on Chapter 9 as I was finished with 8 yesterday), I want to make a short post about AI and my thoughts about it as an artist, voice actress, and author. I previously talked about this in an old post of mine , but, I’ve been mostly quiet about it after that post until now.  Why? Because I’m afraid of talking about AI due to it being controversial. I was inspired by a post I read on Saturday. I feel like some social media places have been ruined due to AI. I’d say that Instagram or any other Meta platform is the worst offender because I remember hearing something about Meta using your data to train AI a while back and  some artists that I follow have left Instagram or no longer post and moved to a place called Cara. I’ve joined Cara as well because of some of my art friends being on there, but to be honest, it has issues and bugs sometimes and I regret...

Today was a good day.

I just posted on my Instagram about it, but I got my diploma in my email. I’m just waiting on it to get mailed to my address! And finally, hours after that email, I saw that my artworks were displayed at an art gallery (circled in image) as part of a Black Contemporaries project: the Tacoma Urban League! It’s my first time getting accepted at one. I thought I would be rejected, but nope! I will link the website below because I am on there. https://www.energizetacoma.org/blackcontemporaries Have a nice day! :)
